What you’ll find

What Emira Pottery is known for

Founder Michael trained in ceramics in Famagusta in 1969, then rebuilt the workshop in Larnaca in 1987 after being displaced by the 1975 invasion, near the Church of St Lazarus. The studio still throws ancient-style, ecclesiastical, and modern pieces by hand and lets visitors watch or join the potters at work.
